The workshop will contribute to the dialogue on energy related country and regional development agendas, including ECLAC’s “environmental big push” as outlined in the document “Horizons 2030” which was presented by ECLAC to its member states in its 36th session. This push is crucial to achieve structural change in LAC countries in order to fully move towards sustainable development, reduce poverty and share prosperity.
